To find the answers, we need to calculate the percentages based on the given data. Let's go through each statement and find the corresponding value from the table.
1. The percent of time that customers at the old store bought milkshakes:
We divide the old store's milkshake sales by the total sales at the old store and multiply by 100 to get the percentage.
Old store milkshake sales = $11,536
Total sales at old store = $24,720
Percentage = (11,536 / 24,720) * 100 ≈ 46%
2. The percent of time that customers at the new store bought milkshakes:
We divide the new store's milkshake sales by the total sales at the new store and multiply by 100 to get the percentage.
New store milkshake sales = $17,934
Total sales at new store = $58,900
Percentage = (17,934 / 58,900) * 100 ≈ 30%
3. The percent of total sales that were Ice Cream sales in both shops:
We add up the ice cream sales from both stores and divide it by the total sales from both stores, then multiply by 100 to get the percentage.
Ice cream sales = $26,244 + $34,100 = $60,344
Total sales = $24,720 + $58,900 = $83,620
Percentage = (60,344 / 83,620) * 100 ≈ 72%
4. The percent of new store sales out of the total sales for both shops:
We divide the new store's sales by the total sales from both stores and multiply by 100 to get the percentage.
New store sales = $58,900
Total sales from both stores = $24,720 + $58,900 = $83,620
Percentage = (58,900 / 83,620) * 100 ≈ 70%
Now, let's match the correct statement and value:
Column A
1. The percent of time that customers at the old store bought milkshakes. - 46%
2. The percent of time that customers at the new store bought milkshakes. - 30%
